How does a human performance coach typically collaborate with other professionals within an organization?

A Human Performance Coach often works closely with HR professionals, team leaders, and department managers to design and implement development programs tailored to organizational goals. They may also partner with wellness coordinators, trainers, and executive leadership to align coaching initiatives with broader company strategies.
